Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain (2021)
Journal Article

Fluid entering the periphery of a steadily rotating cylindrical tank exits through an off-axis drain hole, located in the tank's base at the half-radius. Experiments show that, though a concentrated vortex forms over the drain, it soon advects around... Read More about Vortex evolution in a rotating tank with an off-axis drain.

Direct effects of boundary permeability on turbulent flows: observations from an experimental study using zero-mean-shear turbulence (2021)
Journal Article

The interaction of zero-mean-shear turbulence (generated using an oscillating grid) with solid and permeable boundaries is studied experimentally. The influence of wall permeability is characterised using the permeability Reynolds number, ReK, which...
